I also highly recommend the BSGS (Interdisciplinary) either in Individualized Studies or Liberal Studies, depending on your educational and professional goals.  Note: COSC has limited number of approved ACE (not NCCRS) providers...

I highly recommend doing the CSM Learn, Sophia Lower Level/Study.com Upper Level combo
Note: Charter Oak currently has agreements with the following organizations:
AP, CLEP, CSM Learn, DSST, Saylor, Sophia, StraighterLine, Study.com

My plan was to finish my CSMLearn, finish up the Sophia courses, Get a few of the Study.com's done and then when it adds up right, apply and do the corner/capstone.

I'm doing the Pierpont and a local certificate for now in the meantime of gathering credits.

I would strongly suggest planning your credits well - you want to get those UL, and try to have them cover your remaining requirements as well.  For instance, you need an Ethics course - so why not take BUS 318: Management Ethics at Study.com rather than a LL one at Sophia, and cover both Ethics and an UL requirement at once?  Same with Global Understanding - you can take an UL business course like MARK 303: Global Marketing which would cover that requirement AND give you an UL business course for the concentration at the same time.

First - plan your concentration(s).  2nd - plan your UL. 3rd - plan your requirements.  Use things that can cover all 3 if you can, to make life easier.  Then fill in the rest of the plan with Sophia courses, then Study.com.  But the key is to PLAN everything, not just take a bunch of courses and hope they will fit correctly.

Also, I suggest doing the Individualized Studies concentration, because you can choose a liberal arts AND a non-liberal arts category to combine to make the degree.  If you choose the General Studies concentration, you have to choose 2 liberal arts concentrations, and those are harder to find in UL.  And it has to be more specific, it can't be "humanities" so you'd have to choose a subject within the broad "humanities" category, which is much harder to find.  Psych and Business are VERY easy to find via ACE, and "fit" together.

thank you for the course suggestions, I spent a couple hours mapping out some courses that I wanted to take, but I'm going to use your suggestions in the place of a few.

My RA credits, Sophia LL, Study.com UL. Take corner and cap at COSC.
Y'all have been really helpful and I appreciate it.
